Why are some of us not affected by the "government programming" and propaganda

because we learned at an early age not to care what other people think of us and let that guide our decisions.

Most do not participate in social media because we know it's all garbage for the mind.

Normal human children are "socialized", which means they learn to adapt to the surrounding social pressure, internalizing the norms and behaviors of the group.

Some children have some form of development disorder that makes them unable to mold themselves to fit the society they grow up in. They start to think and analyze and make up their own minds about everything, because they have to - there is no default programming for them to follow.

We are the ones suffering from this development disorder.

I sometimes believe it is about the path of exploration. Maybe quantified as the extrovert and the introvert. How much a person self reflects and questions the world/reality around them.

IMO, the extrovert doesn't question and is a follower of social norms. They rely on others to create their reality and then follow along with the crowd. They need to be constantly surrounded by like minded people to cure the itch of quietness and reflection. They are the ones to seek power and control. To define themselves by the material world ... the external. These are the people that seek positions of power because they rely on the opinions of others to create their badge of identity.

Then you have the introverts. The ones that do challenge the itch of boredom and loneliness because they view it as a tool to grow and become more than they currently are. They don't seek the approval of others to define who they are ... to define their reality. They are the ones capable of critical thought and judge both sides of an issue with simple logic. They don't rely on herd mentality.


The introverts are a threat to the extroverts and the extroverts are a threat to the introverts. The extroverts must create a uniform society to make themselves feel safe and rational, no matter how irrational the ideology of that environment truly is.

I think every person/being/entity has its own ways completely apart from the family they've been born into. I believe that every entity has its own ways and experiences they have to or want to go through, experiences which indeed can have connections to karmic-things from another life/experience.

When my children were growing up, we did not have cable programming. We did not have basic television programming either. We had a DVD player and that was it.

My children did not have cell phones or access to the internet, unless it was for schoolwork, and it was supervised.

My children were exposed to history fiercely and knew who Hitler, Stalin, and Mao were, and how people can become "brainwashed" by propaganda.

We read 1984, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451, and The Giver together and regularly discussed each.

They were taught to respect firearms at an early age, and they all own weapons at this point and visit regularly to practice on the range we have out back.

They stood by me while I fought as a Ron Paul delegate at the 2012 National Convention. They've heard me scream. They've watched me cry.

When they grew up, each moved and headed for cities.

There is where I lost them.

I learned yesterday that my three girls have submitted and are now "vaccinated." My son is the only one left who has not.

My youngest even iterated that she believes that people should be physically forced.

It's a sad day for this Mom. I have no idea where I went wrong, but I have failed.

I'm vaccinated... from bullshit. Think Terminator movies. It's coming.

It has been proven decades ago that about half the population cannot form independent abstract opinions. Instead they take the opinions propagated by their institutions (family, church, school, government, etc).

It is believed to be genetic.

How many of us are unable to be hypnotized? I found out in college that no one could "hypnotize" me in a psych class.

And I did want to be hypnotized.

From reading the answers it seems the only consistent answer so far is that we are all thinkers and ask questions. But why?

I don't drink fluoride and have always questioned everything since I was a child, to the annoyance of my family and teachers.

I try to eat a decent diet but sometimes do eat fast food.

I plant a lot of trees and plants.

I was a scout.

They messed with my head when I was a kid through High School.

I read a lot of books and always had a book nearby when I was younger.

I have an exceptionally high IQ and graduated 11th out of 400-something students.

I did not complete college.

My father and brothers were all in Military Intelligence positions.

I believe in G-d, and my spiritual journey involved a lot of questions and experimentation. It took years to hash out my religious feelings.

I surround myself with animals.

I trust nothing.

Lies of others make me sick. Deception makes me queasy. I can not watch television programs with a lot of deception.

I try to be gray and blend in with people of all political spectrums.

I was a senate page at one time.

I see Math and Music in everything and have studied ancient history in depth.

I was hated by just about everyone my entire life.

I was bullied by just about everyone my entire life.

I was beaten and abused by everyone I trusted my entire life.

I don't think everyone out there is multi-dimensional and think of them as empty.

When I was younger, older people always fell in love with me, and the attention was incredible. I have known a few famous people and my life has intersected with some incredible souls.

I was a protester and protested for Gay rights, the environment, the ocean, pot rights, anti-discrimination, and freedom. I'm pissed that all of these things have been adulterated and skewed by hedonists and assholes. That is NOT what we all were fighting for.

I participated in gifted clubs, classes, and programs from kindergarten on and was removed from class for weird things throughout school. My school file disappeared the week before I graduated. I was in National Honor Society and graduated with chords, a gold tassel, and awards.

I used to help teach classes for my teachers in school.

I have zero relationships with my siblings or parents, though I send my parents food all the time so they don't starve to death during this pandemic.

I have been dirt poor in the past but now we're extremely comfortable. We built our lives from nothing.

School was easy and all homework was done on the bus on the way to school. I'm a procrastinator though I made excellent grades. I have never studied for a test.

I am terrified of riding in a car, am agoraphobic, and have bipolar 2.

I hate people and want to be left alone. Most of them seem stupid to me.

I collect knives and tea bowls.

Every thing I wrote above is 100% truth, as I can not stomach any kind of a lie and therefore, people hate me for not faking and going along. I know I used the word I a lot but this whole thing is so people can compare and come to a scientific conclusion.

It is a certain type of mind that questions things that has any chance of not being brainwashed. People think that using your brain means doing good in school but most people that get college degrees are the most brainwashed. It's not studying books that are filled with propaganda, it's reading between the lines.

I've always wondered how there is a very distinct group of people that are not susceptible to all of the bullshit thrown at them by the people trying to "program" us and are immune to the constant propaganda being thrown at us.

It is obvious to me that they hate everyone in that group and they are "at war" with this specific group of people.

Drugs at a young age. Mostly weed.

The brain damaged cannot be programmed....
